Its 3:30 here in WA State. Poured a glass of Pinot Grigio while waiting for the Turkey to roast and am making a corn casserole and the rest of the side dishes. 20 lb turkey for 3, free with our weekly grocery purchase, such a deal! We'll be growing wattles by Monday.
Hubby is YouTubing to refresh his mind on how to use the knife sharpener, football is on in the den. I dont know if its the wine or I have come to the realization that Nov 5th didn't destroy my life. I've spent weeks worrying myself sick for all I "could" lose, but the last few days I have come to realize I have much to be thankful for, way more than anyone can take away from me. I have a Magat free family, a wonderful husband and son who I love dearly, my health, a roof over our heads and God willing financial security.

It took almost a month but I am at peace.
Be well all my DU friends.
